Wow. I didn't think they would actually delay Mulan I thought they were too far in. Black Widow still seemingly on track for May. I think there waiting for a couple more weeks though to see if the situation changes.

Not surprising. It's too bad Disney+ isn't totally spun up content wise. Moving content up the slate until now would be a good means of counter programming the shut out theatrically.

San Francisco announcing a mid-August reopening of movie theaters is the first real threat to Mulan's release getting postponed again. If NYC or LA follow a similar timeline things get very rocky.

Then again things can always change and SF can reopen movie theaters earlier if capacity restrictions are negotiated a little more aggressively.

That is only San Francisco county, not the entire San Francisco Bay Area. The rest of the Bay Area counties haven't yet decided.

We'll have to see what the rest of the Bay Area does over the next couple of weeks. Take with a grain of salt but in speaking with Cinemark Corporate people that I know they are planning a July 1st reopening across most of California and the rest of the nation.

‘Mulan’ Late July Release Date in Jeopardy

Disney does not want to gamble their $200M movie as the first event film to hit theaters. Tenet is much better positioned to be first.

I hope it gets pushed back so it gets the marketing and money it deserves.

Have there been any test screenings, or leaks as to where Mulan stands among other remakes as far as quality?

No leaks needed. The film has had its world premiere and no real embargo.



Tons of opinions from critics on Twitter and elsewhere to be found.

Thanks. Was a little concerned about the witch & vertical-running Huns pushing it too much into the realm of fantasy, but so far sounds promising.

(Though not sure why those factors should worry me, considering the original had a talking dragon and ghost ancestors.)

Tenet is now delayed officially.

I imagine Mulan is/has been delayed behind closed doors, but Disney is needing to figure out a serious scheduling and planning reshuffle to accommodate it. I expect Mulan will be pushed back to like October. If they can carve a space for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some serious debate internally about putting it on Disney plus.

Or punt it to next summer so it can get the opening it deserves.
